Editorials Statewide choices in Illinois governor race
The piece argues financial stability and education matter most in Illinois governing, not looks. It critiques Jim Edgar and Dawn Clark Netsch, notes Edgar’s frugality but likely need for tax funding, and Netsch’s tax plan while flagging campaign weaknesses. It praises George Ryan and Bob Kustra, backs Nancy Drew Sheehan for treasurer, and endorses Loleta Didrickson over Earlene Collins for state comptroller.
